The detection of endocrine disrupting chemicals leaching from reusable plastic water bottles.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2016)
Endocrine disruption is a particular form of
toxicity, where natural and/or endogenous
compounds, known as “Endocrine Disrupting
Chemicals”, cause adverse health effects
by resulting in disruption to the endogenous
hormone ...
Laboratory methods with graphic support as a UDL strategy for science students in laboratory sessions.
(AHEAD, 2019-03)
The National Access Plan (2015-2019) provides a framework for broadening participation in higher education
Investigation of prolific sheep from UK and Ireland for evidence on origin of the mutations in BMP15 (FecXG, FecXB) and GDF9 (FecGH) in Belclare and Cambridge sheep.
(PLOS, 2013-01)
This paper concerns the likely origin of three mutations with large effects on ovulation rate identified in the Belclare and
Cambridge sheep breeds; two in the BMP15 gene (FecXG and FecXB) and the third (FecGH) in GDF9. ...
Investigations on the efficacy of routinely used phenotypic methods compared to genotypic approaches for the identification of staphylococcal species isolated from companion animals in Irish veterinary hospitals
(BMC, 2013)
BACKGROUND:
Identification of Staphylococci to species level in veterinary microbiology is important to inform therapeutic intervention and management. We report on the efficacy of three routinely used commercial phenotypic ...
Comparative activity of silver based antimicrobial composites for urinary catheters.
(Elsevier, 2018-08-18)
Biomedical polymers are an integral component in a wide range of medical devices because of their many desirable properties. However, extensive use of polymer materials in medical devices has been associated with an ...
A population genomics analysis of the native Irish Galway sheep breed.
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10)
The Galway sheep population is the only native Irish sheep breed and this livestock
genetic resource is currently categorised as ‘at-risk’. In the present study, comparative
population genomics analyses of Galway sheep ...
Associations between the K232A polymorphism in the diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) gene and performance in Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle
(Teagasc, 2010)
Selection based on genetic polymorphisms requires accurate quantification of the
effect or association of the polymorphisms with all traits of economic importance.
The objective of this study was to estimate, using progeny ...
Polymorphism discovery and allele frequency estimation using high-throughput DNA sequencing of target-enriched pooled DNA samples
(BMC, 2012-01-11)
Background: The central role of the somatotrophic axis in animal post-natal growth, development and fertility is
well established. Therefore, the identification of genetic variants affecting quantitative traits within ...
